E.g., the sequence of XF86DRI...() calls could be changed along the lines of: If the DDX DRI extension version determined by XF86DRIQueryVersion() indicates that it's supported, the client calls something like XF86DRISetClientVersion() to indicate the capabilities it has. XF86DRIGetDeviceInfo() could then fail if the client's advertised capabilities don't allow direct rendering with the DDX configuration. Of course, there's a lot of details to be worked out around this idea, but I don't see anything that would prevent it altogether, except maybe that it may not be possible while preserving the interface between libGL and the 3D driver. :\ > >>> If there is some two-way handshake somewhere, I must have missed > >>> it. > >> > >> There's none yet in the DDX, it would have to be added (if the one > >> in the DRM doesn't suffice).
